?A good teacher is like a candle ? it consumes itself to light the way for others.? ~ Unknown Author
I will ask a subjective question: Can one measure a great teacher?
More recently, it has been nearly impossible to turn on the tv set, listen to the radio, or peak at a newspaper without viewing a story regarding the state of special education today. It is difficult to not take it personally when people constantly seem to have a point of view on what educators must ultimately do to ?evolve.?
In the past few weeks, I have worked late on many occasions, particularly on Fridays. I derive pleasure the quiet within the lonely walls of the building as I enjoy music in my classroom. I work much more efficiently knowing that I am able make copies without having to wait for anyone. In addition, I can jet through the halls from printer to printer without traffic congestion from other people. It was during this private time that I began to think about the following question. What traits make certain special education educators great?
What qualities does the ?perfect? special education educator have?
Do creative concepts create a better teacher? Or is it the time dedicated to the craft of teaching?
Or do years of experience form a nice teacher?
It all comes down to organization? Perhaps good teachers manage their time so well that they really can get everything done throughout each school day.
When I asked the question to one of my students, the answer was simple ?Perfect teachers care about us.?
And thus I concluded that the concept of the ?perfect? teacher is maybe very different for each and every one of us. The perfect teacher is one who evokes positive emotions from themself and onto those that they are teaching. The perfect teacher should instill confidence, happiness, and security while being nurturing, patient and willing to fight for the benefit of their students. To me, that is the best way I know of to measure a great teacher.
Choosing a career as a special education teacher can be very rewarding. For more information about special education jobs can be found at SpecialEdThread.com
